I saw SUSPIRIA (1977) last weekend (baby’s first giallo) and had such a good time. The tone was so interesting to me, the blend of truly brutal, disgusting violence with the highly aestheticized slightly supernatural world, the mix of the tongue-in-cheek and the serious. The shocking bits were genuinely shocking but it didn’t have the overarching sense of pornographic misery endemic to contemporary American Hollywood-horror or the hard-camp of indie horror. Curious about this remake now.
